"Had the subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself been known to the Secretary of the Navy in 1992, those facts would have prevented the award of the Silver Star," [Mabus spokeswoman Pamela] Kunze said.

Sanders is now in jail on child pornography charges. But he's best known as the man who introduced John Kerry at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and, ironically, vouched for the authenticity of Kerry's service.

So the 2004 Democratic National Convention featured the Bamster's fateful introduction to the nation, Michael Moore sitting with Jimmah Carter, John "Lovechild" Edwards, and a disgraced perverted phony introducing John "Why the Long Face" Kerry? You Dems sure can pick 'em.

Why is this "SwiftVets Revenge"? Isn't the stripping the result of a lie (or series of lies) about the incident which formed the basis for the award being discovered? You could have easily titled it "SwiftVets Vindicated" but I guess that wouldn't fit the old narrative about the Swift Boat Vets.

This story is being "reported" by a number of right-wing blogs, but the ONLY link ever given is a link to SwiftVets.com. The link claims it is a link to Navy Times, but it is not. Navy Times operates its own Web site. Searching that site reveals no such story about Wade Sanders. The fact that SwiftVets.com appears to be the only "source" for the story is a dead giveaway to most rational people that this story is exactly what it sounds like -- yet another Swift Vets fabrication designed to smear a Democrat. I thought these people were out of business by now.

Weren't the Libs on here screaming about what Weiner doing in his privacy was his own business? Clinton? Mind your business! Being a Liberal appears to be a Gateway Drug to sexual deviancy. I know I know it isn't my business the guy likes to fantasize about having sex with children AND Kerry being president.

'WHAT about Vitter, sanford, ensign, arnold, The senator from Idaho who is gay, the bathroom guy, Folly. THAT is just a short short list of all the repukes with sexual deviancy and mental disorders!
It has NOTHING to do with parties, stupid, it affects both parties. AND anyone who tells you any different is LYING. BUT then that is all we get from repukes is LIES!

Has anyone actually put eyes on the actual article quoted. Not that I don't believe it, but I'm having trouble finding anything that doesn't just quote a message board. Not the kiddie porn stuff, but the silver start revocation.

If you wanna know why this Sanders story never made it online at Navy Times, consider this.
Before he was indicted for child porn, Sanders was in residence as a regular (and featured) commentator at Military.com...which now owns the Navy Times online website.
Wanna start connecting some dots anyone?

"SwiftVets revenge"
Titles like this explain why many consider Politico a leftist site. Nothing in the article described that it was a "SwiftVet" who targeted Sanders for "revenge." Further, the title buries the real story -- that people who seek child porn probably do other unethical acts as well, like lying to seem heroic.
Smith, you are a predictable embarrassment and ought to find a new career in something like advertising if being unbiased doesn't suit your character.
Character is Destiny -- Heraclitus

Remember the term that liberals love?
“They’re Swift-Boating Me!” …… as if it’s some sort of Witch Hunt.
The source of this slogan has now been proved to be a lie. ‘Swift-Boating’ actually means; ‘To Expose A Fraud’.

SWIFT BOATING for reupblicans means telling LIES about someone. WHAT they did to John Kerry was tell lies about his service, and it was probably coming from somone like big fat cheney who did not even serve in the military but took a thousand deferments!

from wiki
He enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1966, and spent four months as officer in charge of a Swift Boat in 1969. Kerry received several combat medals during this tour, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts.
So my question is what in the world this has to do with john kerry getting awards in 1969?
The article above clearly states the Sanders award was from 1992, more than 20 years later! Just because this sanders guy is a criminal has nothing to do with Kerry.
Shouldn't this prove Kerry actually EARNED his awards? They pulled this one away 18 yrs later with apparent cause, but never even hinted that Kerry didn't earn his award after forty + years. Only some hack right wing dubious 'vets' made the claim and never proved anything they claimed. .
Sometimes there is only one witness to heroism. Often none. Kerry was a war hero. Get over it.
